Australian police had to chase a wayward koala through the train station of a Sydney suburb on Tuesday, startling commuters with a rare urban sighting of the reclusive species.

Video footage from Casula station showed the animal inspecting an elevator before opting for the stairs. The koala then ran down a train platform, slowing traffic down as it came very close to the edge.

As law enforcement was dispatched to escort it away from the tracks, the koala gave chase and hopped over a station fence.

“All passengers, great and small, are reminded to stay behind the yellow line,” Transport for New South Wales, in which Sydney is located, said in a statement.
